A brand-new playground was built in just under 8 hours! That’s what you get when you combine 300 dedicated volunteers with clinking hammers, buzzing drills, lots of mulch and a little bit of pixie dust!
Volunteers from the City of Anaheim, Anaheim Family YMCA, Disneyland Resort, Anaheim Family YMCA, Hope Builders and organizers from KaBOOM! joined forces to make this kid-designed dream a reality.
New to the Disney VoluntEARS Leadership Council, Art Montoya led one of the project teams during his first-ever KaBOOM! build. “Being able to give back means a lot. Growing up, my community helped me have a better upbringing, and I want that for the kids who use this playground. Then I hope that they’ll grow up and want to give back – to create a giving cycle.”
For Disney cast member and Anaheim resident Becky Murphy, this build hits particularly close to home. “Willow Park is within a mile of my house. It will be great to drive by, on my way to work, and see all the kids enjoying what we have built. Playgrounds are a great atmosphere for kids, and especially one they helped design specifically for this community.”
This is the ninth Disney-sponsored KaBOOM! build in Anaheim, with three more planned in the next two years. Next up is Pearson Park!
